(PRWEB) June 30, 2004 -- Decision Support Intelligence Analysis announced today that it would be inaugurating its new PatientAdvisor Services this week. The PatientAdvisor program is comprised of two consumer programs to help patients and their families receive all benefits available from their health care plans. These plans are bill audit and audit and recovery. The programs are consolidated in the Reimbursement Maximization Division.

Concurrent with the implementation of the Reimbursement Maximization Program, DSIA is also introducing the Patient Medical Research Companion. This service will provide patients and families with current up-to-date information concerning any disease of interest

The Patient Advisor program is a service of DSIA (www.dsia.net). DSIA is a company that performs consulting services to physician offices as well as intense research in the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Industries. These activities have opened windows so that we understand the overwhelming burden patients face in dealing with insurance companies and physician offices attempting to have their bills properly submitted and paid.

Reimbursement Maximization Plans:
Simple Bill Audit: We will review any EOB (explanation of benefits) to insure that it is correct. We will advise you of our findings along with suggestions for corrections if needed.

Audit and recovery: We will provide all services of a Simple Bill Audit as well as performing all work necessary for you or your provider (doctor or health care facility) to be paid.

With respect to The Consumer Claims Maximization service, DSIA offers:

·   Assistance with obtaining approval for reimbursement
·   Valuation and support of disputed claims
·   Identification of opportunities for claims maximization
·   Assessment of alternative methods for obtaining reimbursement

Patients with primary and secondary coverage are often involved in a 'he said, she said scenario when claims are not getting paid," said Alan Glick, a special advisor to DSIA. The average consumer is increasingly getting denied coverage for services that should have been covered. DSIAs service is really unique in the fact that it offers claims management services to consumers, and I hope consumers will take advantage of that."

Patient Medical Research Companion:
The firm also discovered, when talking with patients, that they are often confused by conflicting information that is pertinent to their condition. A simple search on Google, for the topic diabetes, returned 14,200,000 hits. That is an enormous amount of information.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of medical Web sites on the Internet that consumers can seek information from on clinical trials, the latest therapies and support groups-for a consumer to gather all of this information alone, this experience might be overwhelming and confusing with a high tendency for information overload," DSIA President Alan Kelsky. As a consumer, I would want to get the most accurate information for the various treatment options available for my own or a family members medical condition in the most timely manner-that is what our PMRC service can provide."

Experienced DSIA staff knows the right way to research medical conditions, we explain the condition, inform you of current therapies, alert you to clinical trials in your area, explain what treatments are being used off label" and advise you of which treatments are reimbursable by your insurance company and if your insurance requires any special way of submitting your claim. The research is not off the shelf but customized for you based on diagnosis, length of current treatment, willingness to participate in clinical trials, willingness to use off label treatments."

All information offered by DSIA is for educational purposes only. For specific medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment, consult a medical professional.
